Paroxysmal Tachycardia...wait its a fun post

Uh, apparently there is a disease called...read title...and it is "very common, but really scary when it happens." What is it, you ask? Are you sitting down? It is The Fear of Impending Doom. Yes, I'm serious. There is a name for such a feeling that has been given the title of a medical condition. I'm sure there are other absurd conditions to ease the mind of hypochondriacs around the world, but I'm having a laugh over this one!

Later:

Although I did not find any medical reference to....the title....as The Fear of Impending Doom, I still found it very funny. I found it on a site dedicated to the biography of Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran). He supposedly suffered from this condition in a Rock Star's version of a college student's all-nighter. I like to call it the all-weeker! I don't know! This post is sooo non-sensical. It's absolutely curious. Its renduculous. Its, its, its.... I don't know...fun?

P.S. August 10th is National Duran Duran Appreciation Day. So turn up the 80's!

My Weather-ality

I took a silly quiz about my personality being a weather description. And I was SUNNY. Read on:

You Are Sunny

You are an upbeat, positive person who refuses to get too down in the dumps. You realize that life is short, and you know you're going to try to have as much fun as possible! You try to laugh, play, and love every day. You believe that happiness is a choice. You take your responsibilities seriously, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself in the process.

Have You Heard of All Those Crazy Holidays?

It seems everyday--almost--is a holiday. I've known about this craze for a while, back when I was writing a newsletter for a group of friends. I've learned that not many people know about all the celebrations. Personally, I think it's an awesome idea: a reason to celebrate and be happy (about something). Celebrating life everyday is a sure-fire way to get a positive attitude.

You may ask, "Why?" I ask, "Why not?" You'd be surprised how this little adjustment in questioning can change your outlook on something. Especially, when raising children.

Whatcha waiting on? Get started---I know you're curious. Here's a shove in the right direction:

1. Brownielocks

2. Gone-ta-pott!

3. Health Observations

4. Daily Holidays!

These are just to get you started. A big name in this business is Chase's Calender of Events. You can buy it for 75 bucks! Or go to your local library and see if they have last year's edition. Be sure to research each holiday you may find on a site, or even several sites. Thats how I decide if a holiday is "for real." Have fun!

Oh, this is too weird...

Ok, I was blog surfing--ya know, trying to find some other interesting bloggers to follow---when I seen a blog for ....drum roll.... "Legacy of Lady J." *car tires screeching to a halt, record scratching, ...* What the? Another lady J? So, am I jealous? No. Am I like a cat---mmmrrrrow? No. What am I? EXCITED! I love it! So, now I'm following her blog. AND! She's a fellow blogger. Too cool. So, check her out:

I like Jerks

I'm so glad to see that a long and tired phase of Hip Hop is passing by. And I was wondering, just the other day, when baggy pants would go out of style. Thank you. I still see sagging though--just no bagging. It looks like the 80's has hit this area too. I'm not complaining. I love the 80's. I loved baggy pants too, but it was getting old. And no, the 80's are not old--its coming back. I really like the Jerk style. It's Emo and Hip Hop. Punk. 80's. Just plain ol' new!

Apparently, according to the infamiss bobb blog, there is some JERK thing going on in California. I have to agree with her: Whatever it is, I like it.

Oh, and check out his cute shaved eyebrows. Reminds me of Middle School. And so does that name New Boyz--like New Kids.... I feel like a teeny bopper again. I can't wait to hear this up in the club!

Shadow Painting

I came across this guy's youtube video. I love it. It's simple, sweet, fun, and ...life at it's best. I hope you enjoy.




And here are some other funny videos from this guy just living and loving life. Hey, if he can find something to be happy about so can you!



I Love This Guy!

To Whinge or Whine...

Whinge: I always thought my grandfather had made this word up--a screw up of whine. Actually, he was right all along. I'm finding that to be the case more and more these days. Check it out on Merriam Webster Word of the Day.

The Lioness

I am a lioness
strong and mighty
I am a lioness
ready to take charge
I am a lioness
capable of providing for my family
I am a lioness
comfortable with my sexiness
I am a lioness
hear me roar
I am a lioness
my cubs think I am their personal jungle gym!

Chick This Out

I love this video! It rocks. I keep coming across the same theme--or thought--in life: The little things in life are what make life so sweet--bearable, downright enjoyable. And I have to say that Chik-Fil-A makes life so sweet, especially that yummy tea. And waffle fries. I prefer the classic sandwich over nuggets. But my kids are all about them. Anyways, I hope this video sweetens things up a bit for ya!

A Joke

Here's a joke for you told to me by a Mr. Chuck Baker. I know him from the diner.
There was this man who had a pet monkey and he took him to a bar. The bartender told him he could not bring the monkey in, "He''ll cause too much trouble." The man told the bartender, "No, he won't cause any trouble, I promise. He's a good monkey." So after a while the monkey began to run around knocking stuff over, drinking people's drinks, and throwing stuff. Then he went over to the pool table and began throwing the balls onto the floor. All of a sudden he swallowed the cue ball. The bartender got mad and said, "Have you seen what all your monkey has done? He just swallowed our cue ball!" The man apologized, "Just bill me for whatever he has done." A few weeks later the man returned with his pet monkey. The bartender told him he could not bring it into the bar, "You remember what he did last time." The man said, "I promise, he won't do that again." The bartender finally agreed. After a while the monkey began to jump around and bother people. He grabbed a maraschino cherry, stuck it up his ass, and then ate it. The bartender was appalled, "Did you see what your monkey just did? He stuck a cherry up his ass and ate it!" The man shrugged, "Oh, don't worry, he tests everything for size after the cue ball."

Some Vocab For Ya

I have some new vocab that I learned at work: Night Stalker and Shrimping. From what I understand ,shrimping is when a person with a foot fetish goes to the beach to check out feet. Sounds "fishy" to me. Ha Ha! And the way the guys described night stalker, it sounds like a girl that you see after 2 AM and you been drinking and you can't find anyone else. In other words a girl that hasn't been picked up/taken home at the end of the night. She's out stalking for that drunk who'll take her home. She is not all that. So I looked these terms up on my fave hilarious site, www.urbandictionary.com to see what I could find!

Apparently, shrimping does have something to do with feet---sucking/licking toes, but some freaks have taken it to a whole new level. A mighty sick level!
Night Stalker did not have that definition at all. As a matter of fact, I tried to put in the meaning I learned (and found rather funny). We'll see if it goes through approval at UD. My definition doesn't limit it to females.

A little word from Mrs. Olson

I love you much, I love you mighty
I wish your pajamas were close to my nighty
Now don't be mistaken, Now don't be misled
I mean on the clothesline and not in my bed
Eleanor Olson

The TKO

And the winner is......The Resistant Bands!

OK, what am I talking about----my workout injury, that' s what! I was using my resistant bands (blue and red Gold's Gym brand from Wally world). I stupidly had them hooked onto a plastic over the door hanger/hook thingy. Anyways, to make a long story short---I heard a crack when I pulled and then I was whacked. It was like "crack", then "whack." Right in my face under my left eye. It looks like someone punched me in my face. How embarrassing! Especially, when I have to tell someone why my eye is messed up--well under it. I'm lucky I didn't get my eye knocked out. Reminds me of The Christmas Story, where the kid can't have a beebee gun because he'll shoot his eye out.

In The Wise Words Of an Old Woman

I met this great lady named Eleanor Olson. She said that everyday we should always remember to SHAKE OUR BOOTIES! So ladies---shake 'em. Hell, the men can shake 'em too! 1st thing in the morning, when you get up (and after you stretch) shake your booties. Shake 'em in the shower. Shake 'em before you head off to work, when you get home, and before you go to bed. Remind yourself how sexy you are by shaking your booties. You should never forget about your own beauty. I talk about how pretty I am everyday--to some people's dismay at work---but its the truth. We are all beautiful. And we should all feel that way. So Shake your booties to remember your beauties. Peace out.
